How is the government trying to increase wages so as to cushion this effect. No one seems to be talking about that. Telcos are just thieves. In saner climes, data is so cheap, but in Nigeria data is like gold. I don't understand anymore o

If we are going to be fair, telecom tariffs have been stable for a very long time now.
Not to justify their need for an increase but you don't expect their tariffs to remain the same when their operating expenditure & expenses have gone up.
Even ordinary pure water price has gone up.
It is well.

There is nothing ordinary about pure water, the production cost has increase which translate to higher prices.

Why are people like you parallel to basic economic knowledge? The government increasing minimum wage is the surest way to hyperinflation. While the new CBN governor is printing N1 trillion per month to devalue naira and increase the production cost, you are busy pointing fingers at Telecoms.

I said the current communication minister is 100% worse than pantami but people on Twitter uarning nonsense. A totally clueless ediot who always put cart before the horse.

They have already increased the price by 10% in the last 5 months o. Atleast pantami didn't let this happen.

Does the minister of communication control the value of naira? As far naira keep loosing value, the prices of commodities will continue to increase.

They wanna increase price but not service. Ask Dstv how their increased price is going so far.They wanna increase price but not service. Ask Dstv how their increased price is going so far....

The higher the forex rate, the higher the price and the lower the service and vice versa.

since 2019, price of commodities have increased more than 1000%, yet price of data remained constant or lower.

Did pantami control the value of naira before engaging communication companies to keep price of data down?
E.g
Price of data reduced by 50% in 2020

Then reduced further to 350/GB in 2023

Another article telling networks not to do nonsense under pantami.

6months under this current dunce that called himself communication minister that busy discussing AI on Twitter when people can't even afford 30gb of data, the price of has jumped 10% in 6months.
And it will likely jump more again.

compare the price of diesel that powers cell towers in 2019 to 2024 and remembered telecom subsidy does not exist. The results will be very low quality service rendered.

You can always get it at lower prices with us no matter what happens

lol.

So it not the value of naira or price of commodity again but diesel?

You do realize that diesel was never subsided right? since 2003, during obasanjo era? Diesel has always been between 500-1000 per liter right?
